It's not like a video game where a glancing shot is going to send him spinning through the air like a top

Indeed. The only way that something like that is happening is the nervous system doing it (or tissue ejecting like JFK).

and rip his ear off.

Again, handgun, no, high-velocity rifle, pretty likely. The two act very differently when they contact tissue. An instantaneous transfer of even a fraction of 1.8kJ of energy to tissue is pretty devastating.

It is possible that he was hit but, the minute amount of contact needed to transfer enough energy from round as small as 5.56mm to cause a "cut" without any damage to the surrounding tissue is exceedingly unlikely. The fact that the medical records were not just withheld from the public but even investigators, after which he paraded around bragging about it really makes "he was hit by a bullet" the non-credible scenario.
